Chapter 14: Pork Head
Zhao Shucheng said that, and directly came to He Wenhui's side, and directly took the kitchen knife in He Wenhui's hand, saying: "There are some specialties in making pork heads. First of all, it is not to cut the meat, but to clean the hair on it first. Generally, it is used to use hot and sticky methods." "The general method is to use asphalt, because it is a mixture of asphalt and rosin. Although it is easy to remove the pig hair when cooling, the asphalt will easily turn off the pig hair. The cooling rosin asphalt will become even more crisp and easily separate from the pork. However, this method is not very good, because if the amount of rosin is large, it will have an impact on fertility, and there are also many irritating substances in the asphalt, which is not very good for the body."
"So the general method is to prepare a large pot of boiling water, put the pig's head in the basin, and then pour it on the pig's head with hot water, so that the pores expand and hair removal will be easy. Just rub it back and forth with the same rough cloth, and you can clean the pig's hair."
"After this, some small hairs have not been cleaned up, so we need to use the second method."
He Wenyuan looked at Zhao Shucheng's actions from behind, and suddenly realized that Old Liu was not that annoying, but instead had a different charm that attracted her.
"Brother-in-law, did you use something to stick and pull it out?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Now our family does not have this condition, so we have to use the method of burning. Generally, we use charcoal and coal to choose those with less oil smoke. The pig heads that are made of this are white. Of course, some families have wine, but this is a bit luxurious. Some people use gas stoves, so we can just use fire now."
Zhao Shucheng started to operate as he said that, his every move was very fast, and soon the room was filled with the smell of roasted pig hair.
When He Wenhui saw that Zhao Shucheng had finished it, she said, "I'll do the rest and just stew it, right? It's similar to making mutton before?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not. You have also asked about the taste of roasted pig hair. This is not only in the air, but also in the pig skin. If you are not careful, the taste will be a little bad when it is made."
"Now, clean it 9 first, then soak it in light salt water for a while, soak it in bleeding water, then drain the water, then put it in the pot and cook it cold water, add the cooking wine, green onion, ginger, and pepper, and bring it to a boil. Then cook for about five minutes, take it out and clean it up, then put it in the pot again, add seasoning, add hot water, and cover the meat noodles."
Zhao Shucheng said and did it, asking He Wenhui to learn from He Wenyuan. He didn't want the pig's head to waste it in their hands. This was the pig's head that he finally snatched from others. What a pity it would have wasted.
Of course, what Zhao Shucheng got to the He family was a pig head, and he had already given the Liu family a large piece of ribs and fat meat. He was not Liu Hongchang, but he was thinking about the He family, but instead left his family behind.
I won’t use this pig’s head to please others. Of course, if I do it well, I can give it a little to my neighbor, but if you say that the whole pig’s head is given to others and you don’t eat it yourself, that is really stupid.
He Wenyuan and He Wenhui accompanied Zhao Shucheng to wait for the pig's head to be prepared. When they smelled the question coming from the pot, they were almost crying.
The He family hasn't eaten much meat for many years. Only after Zhao Shucheng and He Wenhui got married, they finally ate meat, but since then, they haven't eaten it for many days. Not to mention that Zhao Shucheng has made this pig head with care in order not to waste, and it tastes very good naturally.
Now not only is the smell of meat in the kitchen, but also in the yard, which makes many neighbors smell it. They can't help but walk out of the house and see the He family along with the fragrance.
Erqing's mother even said: "Tsk tsk, the He family has been caught. In the past, there was less than a meal of meat and fish for ten days and half a month, but today the smell of meat has spread to the yard."
"That's right, Erqing's mother, who makes his son-in-law be a master of the canteen? You can't even envy it, right?"
"Tsk, what's so proud of? What do I envy? It's not that our family can't afford it."
Erqing's mother said sourly that their family actually ate meat occasionally, but it is impossible to eat it frequently. How expensive is the meat these days, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to eat it often.
After more than two hours, the pig's head was ready, and because hawthorn was added, it was easier to cook it. Then, salt was added, stewed for a while on the high heat, then turned off the heat and prepared to remove the pig's head.
He Wenyuan and He Wenhui, who were on the side, could not wait any longer and asked, "Brother-in-law, can you eat now?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's try it for you first. Then I will divide it out and eat some of our own houses and give each neighbors a bowl. We will make the remaining pork head meat into meat patties, which can be cut better, and it will be fat but not greasy."
He Wenhui naturally had no objection, but He Wenyuan was a little unhappy and had to share it with others, so he had to eat less at home.
But she couldn't say anything to refuse. After all, the neighbors took care of their family so much over the years. If she didn't give it to others, she would definitely gossip at that time.
Besides, this was what her brother-in-law said. She didn't think what Zhao Shucheng said was wrong at all, so she could only agree silently, but she was planning to steal a few pieces on the way when she gave it to other families?
Unfortunately, she took it for granted. The neighbors had long been greedy. Some of them heard Zhao Shucheng say this outside the door, and they simply came over without waiting for He Wenyuan to go and deliver it.
Zhao Shucheng didn't care. Anyway, the portions given by each family were the same. You wouldn't give more just because your bowl was bigger, and you would give less if you were smaller. Moreover, you had to meet your own family's needs before you could give others some.
This meal made everyone very satisfied. Zhao Shucheng even held a glass of wine, drinking and eating a bite of pork head meat, which made him feel so comfortable.
He Wenyuan was also very happy to eat, thinking about when he could eat it once, and the taste was really good. Even after eating pork head, he went to the kitchen to serve a little soup from the stewed meat just now, and then he stood up with satisfaction.
Although He Wentao doesn't like Zhao Shucheng, he still has no resistance to food and can't help but eat it.
After Zhao Shucheng finished his meal, he went out directly and started a walk in the alley.
But He Wenyuan thought of something, and directly returned his leather shoes, then took his flute and walked out with a light pace, and began to dance in the alley.
Sister Chen and the others also saw He Wenyuan's appearance and pointed at him and said something. They should be praising He Wenyuan for his good looks and a bit artistic.
Zhao Shucheng happened to come on a walk. Seeing He Wenyuan's appearance, he asked with a smile: "Wenyuan, what are you doing?"
He Wenyuan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, do you think I'm wearing these shoes, look good?"
"It looks pretty good, but remember what I told you, you can't wear this in school, do you still remember?"
"I know, I don't wear it to school."
Even though he said this, how could He Wenyuan not be able to show off to those classmates? So he just carried his flute and showed off in the name of learning.
The classmate did not notice He Wenyuan's new shoes at the beginning, but he couldn't resist He Wenyuan's showing off, especially when he was doing something high-legged from time to time, allowing high heels to flash in front of the classmate.
"Wenyuan, when did you buy new shoes? It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, I think it looks pretty good, too."
"Who bought it for you?"
He Wenyuan was about to say that he bought it himself, but somehow he blurted out and said, "This is what my brother-in-law bought for me."
"Your brother-in-law bought it for you. He has a good attitude. Your brother-in-law is so nice to you."
"That's right, my brother-in-law bought it for me and my sister, but my brothers didn't have it. And this was bought by my brother-in-law from the Demon City."
He Wenyuan was also very proud of this. Although everyone was having dinner together and could eat the food made by Zhao Shucheng, only He Wenhui and himself had his shoes.
"Wenyuan, can you let me try it? If it's good, I'll ask my mother to buy me a pair too."
"What if you do if you fail me? These are new leather shoes. Do you know? These are very popular nowadays. Many movie stars wear such shoes. They are very handsome in dancing in these shoes. Why don't I dance for you?"
"OK!"
He Wenyuan started to dance as he said that, and that movement was indeed useless. However, Zhao Shucheng did not have such a good fortune and did not see He Wenyuan dancing too much.
It's a pity. If He Wenyuan was not so vain and was with the gangsters outside in school, he might be able to get into an art school and might become an artist in the future.
But now that Zhao Shucheng is here, no one knows how everything will develop in the future, and even Zhao Shucheng himself doesn't know what the future will look like. Because if He Wenhui had no trouble with birth, perhaps He Wenhui and He Wentao would not be so extreme. Maybe even if the family is ungrateful, he will be able to live up to some extent for He Wenhui's face.
Of course, it is possible that Zhao Shucheng and He Wenhui will divorce later, but all this is unknown, so time can only explain it.
Anyway, He Wenyuan is happy now. He can finally show off in front of his friends and be able to be a person with his head raised and chest up. However, she is not so easy to satisfy. The only flaw now is that her flute has been used for a long time, so it would be even better if she could change it to a new one. And she can't be the same bargain as the one in her hand. If it is that kind of high-end one, then she can be faced when she goes out.
At that time, I will wear new leather shoes and new clothes that I haven't worn a few times after I have finished it, and hold a new flute in my hand. I will definitely attract the attention of others in school and may become the envy of others.
But how can I buy a new flute? My mother and my elder sister are definitely unwilling to do so. They both save as much as possible and will not agree to their request at all. She didn't expect Zhao Shucheng, but she still couldn't overcome that hurdle. She was embarrassed to ask Zhao Shucheng for a lot of money to buy a flute, and she didn't know if Zhao Shucheng would agree.
